Details

A Curious Kind of Magic is a cozy fantasy about the teenage owner of a (mostly fake) magical curiosity shop and a girl cursed to turn everything she touches into magic.

Willow is the charlatan of Ardmuir, running her late father’s curiosities shoppe, which hasn’t sold anything magical in years and is hanging on by a thread. Until Brianna appears and turns the fake items into real magic. Because Briana is harboring a secret of her own: a curse where everything she touches turns to magic.

Desperate to keep her father's shoppe, Willow proposes a bargain that could save them both. Together with the frustratingly handsome printer's assistant, they uncover a plot that goes far deeper than either could have imagined.

    Sweet and cosy story

    This was a thoroughly enjoyable read, some times wholesome and sweet, sometimes adventurous and exciting.

    This Owlcrate edition is absolutely breathtaking: both the illustrations in the front and back of the book as well as on the inside of the jacket are beautiful and perfectly capture the atmosphere and feeling of the world they're set in.

    Gorgeous and Cute!

    I always love a good standalone fantasy - I can’t find enough! Not only was this a standalone, but it was so cozy. And of course OwlCrate’s edition was especially gorgeous, with the end pages, and the foiled hardcover. If you’re looking for a nice wholesome read, you’ve found it.
